El Hondo

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

  • If you follow the Website link on the photo and open up all comments it seems this is PF1 ringed by Keith Brockie on 5.7.2017.

  • Yes Mike Valerie Webber has just messaged me to say that Keith Brockie had rung PF1, a Brood of 3 in 2017.  Yeah another two year old returns.

    Also if anyone is one Twitter there are good photos on there too. 

    All this information was posted on LG & Other Ospreys FB Group over an hour ago, which Valerie gave me permission to share here.  :-)
